    Seriously need to clear my backlog of builds so for the first time in absolute months i got my airbrush out today. Not much more of this build to go so i need to crack on with it. Although the squiggle painting will take a little bit longer.
    Added the underneath colour today. Will let that dry and do a few little touch ups then it's onto the squiggles.

          Hi Alan
          A blast from the past. You've done too much work not to finish it. Looking forward to the squiggles.
          Jim

                  The instructions are the old Revell type that are printed in dot-matrix so the demarcation is very hard to see at times. I've penned the basic outline of the squiggles so i'll just wing it from there lol

                    Hi Alan,

                    Great to see this back at the bench and she is looking good. Better you than me with the squiggle pattern though. Don't think I would have the nerves (or enough beer) to try it. Will you be masking or going freehand???

                    Prost

                      It'll all be free hand Allen. And maybe beer could make it more 'flowing'? lol

                        Best of luck Alan. I'll be watching carefully how you go about it. I have a ZM He-219 and the squiggles is a camo option too. I need to learn all I can....

                              Another question if I may, Did Bf-110 G-4's use the squiggle pattern too? I know Do-217 night fighters and Ju-88's did, but I've been out of the wing thingy end of the hobby for many years......

                                ARRRGH my eyes! Cramp in my hand too. But it's done. Bit rough around the edges but i think it'll suffice. I'm sure the guys that applied the paint in real life weren't so bothered about neatness and accuracy either.
